Herein lies the real problem, tech wiz. Peripherals prolifereate on the
market.
"They are sold without any built in security."
CBC News, September, 2007.
My mouse, attached to a computer or a shoe box, remains just such.
Again, what is NEEDED!!!!! is a device that home users can setup in, say, a
kitchen electrical receptical.
The device would emit some sort of signal to thwart intrusion. Or course, it
would have to be programmable to look after each users specific hardware.
Home security devices only look after themselves.
The sorely needed device would be capable of sensing and profiling and
protecting all wireless home gadgets.
Simply locate, profile and allow inside a firewall siganl barrier.
Piece of cake for someone technicallly minded.

ps Only a fool would have wireless internet.
The trendy hip-po stores (fractureshop, officedetritus bunglow etc) sell junk.
Pay extra and hardwire, I would warn you.
i.e., Use mission critical corporate security, even at home.
Minimum 2048 bit modem hardware key.
Vista Ultimate is a slAck 256bit.
Funcky mices happen to be a total bother these days.
Lame as my damn home theater and telephones
Go patent something, eh!
Want some help?.
Here, take my heart and kidneys lol.

humm any of your devices are secure? your post is making me guess it's not
if you have wireless internet you have to set a password for it other wise
anyone can access your system possibly implement a virus. as for the
bluetooth, unless it's a really cheap bluetooth i don't think anyone
could've taken control of your mouse because usually you have to enter a
password for bluetooth, and you would have to press the connect button at
the same time they try to control it. if you have wireless telephone again
it is possible to get encrypted wireless phone, i for one have one it has a
voicemail box three portable wireless phone and if i remember correctly the
frequency changes three times per second, so no one could listen your
conversation, or take control of it. i hope this helps if you need more info
i'll be glad to provide it to you if i can. i didn't mean to make you
irritated or mad about the battery but i was kinda doing a small
announcement because not everyone knows this. i have some friends who still
believes that charging your battery every day like a cell phone is good for
it. but anyway...... hope this helps

You know what I would really like, So...?
A radio sheild so that strangers cannot access and interfere with all my
wireless household equipment, including strangers on the street, my
neighbours, and malicious or mistaken people on the internet. This sheild
would protect my home theater (hit twice so far this year by the jerk
teens
across the alley), my telephones (3 of them), my home security (you really
don't want to know), ... and my MOUSE!

i hope mark is reading this, my guess is the battery given to him might
be
defectuous if it's brand new or he had it for a long time, and didn't let
his battery die before charging it. this is the worst thing to do to a
rechargable battery charge it before it goes dead, what happens is that
the
battery remembers at what point it was charged and take the energy left
and
says to it self when i get to this point i need to get charged, so what
happen is next time you use your battery when it gets to that point it'll
send a dead battery signal when you really had 15 min left of use for
example. and over time the battery doesn't work properly anymore and
stops
working. now this doesn't happen after the first time you charged your
battery earlier but with time. the trick is once a month let the battery
die
completly until the device stops running then charge the battery fully,
even
when the signal says battery full, it is only 80% full, let on charger at
least 2 hours for the remaining 20%.

ps this is research information, not something i made up. and applies to
all
rechargable batteries

The rechargeable battery is dead ... buy a new one... or ask for a
replacement... there is no software problem... Intellipoint only warns
you
to
recharge it has nothing to do with the recharging itself.

this seems(having a dead battery) more plausible than having a driver
tell
the mouse it is at the charging station and only charging for a min or
two.
that's what i was trying to understand what you were saying.

Subject: Problem Laser 8000 Bluetooth Mouse

Message: When the mouse is put on the charge pad its green light
pulses 8
times slowly. Then a red light flashes continuously and rapidly.
The
mouse's NIMH battery does not charge except for a few minutes of
use.
Even
when the mouse is left on the pad overnight. This problem started
early
in
August when a Vista update included a prompt to update the mouse
driver
software with a download from Microsoft. The Microsoft download was
run
and stopped itself with a note that the driver was not compatible.
Thatt
is when the mouse stopped charging properly.

Then late August another Vista prompt to download the updated
driver
for
the mouse, and this time the driver installed. However, the mouse
continues to fail to charge except for less than a minute when it
is
first
placed on the charge pad.

The mouse battery charge anly lasts a very short while. If I take a
half
hour to reseat the mouse on the pad every time the rapid red
blinking
occurs, I can slowly build up the charge. The slow green pulsing
lasts
about 30 seconds, so in half an hour the mouse is reseated on the
charger
pad 60 times.

Microsoft can direct me to a safe driver update, please. That would
be
greatly appreciated. It would be really appropriate if Microsoft
would
correct the error in its driver update for the Laser 8000 mouse
(date
of
manufature, 2007).
